Concerns are rising in India about the potential weaponization of weather, sparked by devastating floods in Assam in 2018. Indian security officials questioned whether manipulating weather patterns could become a new form of geopolitical pressure or outright warfare. Suspicion particularly fell on China, with a regional finance minister publicly voicing concerns about Beijing's capabilities. The possibility of controlling weather stems from advancing technologies like cloud seeding and atmospheric research. This raises questions about the future of international security and the potential for a new domain of conflict. The development suggests a shift towards considering the atmosphere as a potential battleground between nations. International regulations surrounding weather modification are currently limited, adding to the anxiety.
